History

The farm was founded in the 1820s for William H. Murray, a corn and livestock farmer who owned 20 slaves by 1850.[2] It was passed on to his son Hiram in 1851, who owned 39 slaves prior to the American Civil War of 1861–1865.[2] Hiram served in the Confederate States Army, and some of his slaves became tenant farmers in the postbellum era.[2] By 1874, the farm was inherited by his Hiram's son, Davis, who lived here with his wife and their six children.[2]

Architectural significance

The house was designed in the I-house style.[2] A portico designed in the Greek Revival architectural style was added in 1851.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 31, 1991.[3]
